Thanks Stephen,
ctm.berklix.org/~sms/ has 111 Gig.  Could you delete junk please ?
Then it'll be easier to explore.

ctm.berklix.org/usr/ftp has 50 Gig
23 Gig /pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM
		Archives for public ftp download

Which do you use of:
 11.8 Gig /pub/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-SVN
		created & updated by ~jhs crontab &
		http://www.berklix.org/~jhs/bin/.sh/svnsync.sh
		Contains:	base/ doc/ ports/ socsvn/
 6.6 Gig ~sms/library/ctm/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-SVN 
		Contains: base/ doc/ ports/		# no socsvn

BTW A tool for pruning part duplicate trees, leaving non identical files:
 http://www.berklix.org/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/cmpd/
 cd tree-to-prune ; find . -type f -exec /usr/local/bin/cmpd -d {} \
	 /rooted-path/reference-tree \;

Cheers,
